“I’m just grateful I can do it,” said Bullock, who has a home in Austin. “We all have to do our part.”

Bullock also related the humanitarian efforts to the current political divide in the country. “There are no politics in eight feet of water. There are human beings in eight feet of water,” she said in a statement.

Vice president of communications for the Red Cross, Elizabeth Penniman, expressed her gratitude toward Bullock and other celebrities for giving back.

“Massive disasters like Hurricane Harvey create many critical and immediate needs, so we are heartened by donations like this — which allow us to provide immediate shelter, food and comfort to thousands in need,” she said. “The entertainment community has been so supportive to the Red Cross in response to this devastating disaster, and we are so grateful.”

DiCaprio didn’t comment on his donation but United Way Worldwide president and CEO Brian Gallagher did send his thanks.

“We are incredibly grateful for the generosity of Leonardo DiCaprio and his foundation,” said Gallagher. “Responding to Hurricane Harvey requires the best of all of us — and that’s what this gift represents.”

Other celebrities also giving back include the Kardashians, Nicki Minaj, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Jennifer Lopez, and the major sports teams and athletes in Houston, such as JJ Watt who started a fund through You Caring, which as of this writing, has raised over $10 million.

The Texans star shared his gratitude to big time donor, Ellen DeGeneres on Twitter.
